“Generally we were happy with the property.”

For us the beds were on the low side, which made it difficult to get up, especially for my wife who has problems with her knees and back. We found the front door was difficult to open due to the size and shape of the knob/ handle. Definitely no good for anyone with joint problems. Despite this we enjoyed our stay!!

“Lovely, comfortable holiday home.”

Easy, clear instructions for key collection and no problem parking on the street. Property, towels and bedding are clean and well cared for. Kitchen is well stocked with crockery, utensils, pots, pans and cleaning essentials. Really nice to have an outside seating area. Short walk down to Weymouth town centre (took a bit longer coming back as it's uphill!). Had a lovely break, would definitely recommend.

“A lovey comfortable home that was only a few minutes walk to the harbour.”

So peaceful and relaxing when sitting in the garden and a great place to unwind.

“We had a great time in this comfortable homely cottage.”

We had an issue with the rubbish bin and the condition of the kitchen floor (I contacted Dream Cottages and they were very helpful - the floor looks dirty, but I believe the marks are ground in). The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. It's only a 10 minute walk into the town - parking would be an issue, as there were no spaces available the weekend we were there. As we'd stayed in this area previously, we were aware of this, so came by train. We would definitely stay here again.

Many thanks for staying at Owl View. We will take a look at the carpets at the end of season. Thank you for highlighting this too us. Thanks for staying again Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay at Owls Rest!”

It is really nice house with everything that you need. So close to walk into the centre of Weymouth, only a 10 min walk. I would highly recommend!

- Lisa, June 2023

Lovely to hear your positive feedback, thank you. Were grateful for your kind words and hope you wish to Weymouth and Owls Rest once again, thank you Property Owner
Stacey June 2023

“Overall we had a lovely stay.”

We found the house to be a good size for the three of us, (2 adults, 1 toddler) It was light and airy. Excellent location, only 10 min walk into town. Worth bearing in mind it's up a massive hill. We got a good work out each day! Only negatives, we found the parking to be a bit hit or miss, especially on the weekend. We were grateful for the child facilities but found the travel cot mattress to be way too small for the cot itself. We had to pad it out with towels and our baby didn't sleep very well. If wed have known we would have brought our own. Would also have loved the main space to be a bit more child proof. Socket covers would have been amazing, maybe a latch on the fire guard to stop it from being pulled down. Thanks for a good stay.

- Stacey, June 2023

Many thanks for staying in Owls Rest and enjoying the home and Weymouth. Thank you for highlighting the mattress not fitting the Cot, We will take a look at this. Thank you again and enjoy your summer Property Owner

“We enjoyed our stay at Owl’s Rest very much.”

We parked our car on the day of arrival and didn’t use it again until we were driving home. We walked everywhere all week as it was lovely sunny weather and found the Rodwell trail to Portland Harbour which was great. We would just like to raise that perhaps you could leave details of how to get to the town centre/beach from Owl’s Rest in your information folder. It was only a 10 minute walk and wasn’t an issue for us as we had visited Weymouth on a number of occasions but if your guests are new to the area they may need guidance through the residential area. The location of Owl’s Rest was perfect and I’m sure we will be back! Thank you.

- Jane, May 2023

Many thanks for your kind words of feedback, and like most guests, they have no issue with parking and enjoy being able to walk to all local attractions, the beach, harbourside, marina, Nothe Fort, town centre, shops and restaurants. I Understand your comment about notes of how to walk into the town entre it he information pack. I will speak with Dream Cottages, the agent, as they handle these aspects. Thanks again and hope you wish to stay with us again. Thank you Property Owner

The property

This inviting, mid-terrace cottage is located in the well-known resort of Weymouth, along Dorset’s wonderful coastline.

Owl's Rest, which is charmingly laid out over two storeys, is a welcoming spot to call home for a family wishing to get away to this seaside town.

After a day of exploring, look forward to slumping on the sofa and flicking through the Smart TV, or head to the kitchen and get to work preparing a delicious meal while using the electric oven, gas range, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher to clean up!

Gather the party around the dining table or spend the evening outside in the decked garden, chatting away into the night.

Take a quick trip upstairs to find the bedrooms, which include a king-size and a twin, both tastefully decorated with white linens and towels.

Weymouth is a fantastic holiday spot, and because of Owl Rest's central location, you can enjoy the town’s wide array of attractions on foot.

Go for a stroll along the seaside and grab some fresh fish and chips, or if you're in the mood for something more upscale, there are plenty of eateries to choose from.

There are shops for your retail therapy, or if you want to do something more strenuous, join the breathtaking South West Coast Path and explore this picturesque route.

For a delightful getaway to Dorset, Owl's Rest is a fantastic choice.
